!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

I also have the entire emerge session logged if you need that. Could not see a way to attach it. May not be needed anyway.

I figured out the issue was with an error in kernel compilation> it caused the 2.6.9 kernel to load devfsd which led to filesystem corruption. I reinstalled Gentoo with udev and the correct kernel settings and Xorg compiled successfully.
